Ridley Scott was very surprised when he received the invitation from Fox Pictures.

Although he won the Cannes Film Festival Best First Award for "The Man of Duel", he has become a famous film industry and has a reputation, but he is not a first-tier leader, and even the second-tier leader is very reluctant.

What's more, he worked hard in the English entertainment industry, and was separated from America by the Atlantic Ocean. He really didn't expect that Fox Film would choose him thousands of miles away to serve as the director of the first drama "Alien", which was like a dream, especially unreal.

However, Ridley Scott was still very excited to receive an invitation from Hollywood and immediately began to prepare to go to Hollywood.

As excited as he was, there was also the English media.

Many media in England have followed up and reported on this matter. Everyone wants to know what Ridley Scott is so outstanding that he was appointed by Ye Jin as the director of "Alien".

However, Ridley Scott was also confused about this matter, so when facing the media's questioning, he could not give an answer.

Ridley's response, which is "one question and no idea" naturally cannot satisfy the media's curiosity.

Since we can't get the exact answer, the media has begun to repair the brain that we are best at.

They carefully looked for clues between Ye Jin and Ridley Scott, wanting to know how they met and how Ye Jin admired Ridley, and then appointed him as the director of "Alien".

After some search, they finally found out that Ye Jin had participated in the filming of the movie "Star Wars" on the set of the Pinewood in England two years ago.

At that time, Ridley Scott was also filming his debut work "The Duel Man". Perhaps it was at that time that Ye Jin noticed Ridley's talent that he appointed him as the director of "Alien".

After thinking about this process, the English media immediately began to promote it and even compiled a story about "Ye Jin watching Ridley filming, which was shocking. The two of them appreciate each other, recognize heroes and respect heroes, and form deep friendships].

The story was quickly copied by the media in America and was immediately published in the newspaper.

Because there is no more reasonable reason, people have accepted this story. They believe that the reason why Ye Jin chose Ridley was because he filmed on the Songlin set two years ago and had watched Ridley directed "The Man of Duel".

But they never thought that Ye Jin had never watched Ridley film.

The Songlin Studio covers an area of ​​more than 100 acres and is very large, and can accommodate more than a dozen film and television dramas at the same time.

Ye Jin's "Star Wars" crew and Ridley's "Dull Man" crew were filming in different studios. They seemed to be close, but in fact they were like neighbors in tall buildings, close to each other and their hearts were very far away.

In addition, he was busy filming Star Wars and didn't care about other things at all. Not to mention that he didn't know that Ridley Scott was filming there, even if he knew, he wouldn't have gone to watch someone filming.

However, Ye Jin did not refute this report.

Its appearance just helped him solve a problem. In the future, no one will ask why he chose Ridley Scott as the director of "Alien".

...

Ridley Scott then came to Hollywood and then saw the script of "Alien".

After reading it, he was deeply shocked by the story.

The terrifying alien monster, the stunning space jockey, the killing that comes at any time, the situation where there is nowhere to escape, the intrigue plot... These elements are mixed together, making the movie "Alien" full of tension, almost every minute and every second can hold the audience's throat, grab the audience's eyes, and make them reluctant to leave them to distract themselves.

Such a good story is really rare. After watching it, he couldn't help but feel a strong creative impulse in his heart. He really hopes to direct this movie as soon as possible and present the story as soon as possible.

In the next few days, Ridley Scott spent the rest of his life studying scripts in the hotel until he was invited by Ye Jin to the Fox Film Building.

"Hello, Mr. Scott. Are you still used to living in Hollywood for a few days?" Ye Jin asked with a smile.

"Of course, very used to it. The weather in Los Angeles is so good, it's sunny almost every day. Unlike England, it's rare to have sunny days a few times a month." Ridley Scott said with a smile.

"Just get used to it." Ye Jin nodded, "I invite you here today, mainly to talk to you about the movie "Alien". Don't regard me as the CEO of Fox Pictures, just treat me as the screenwriter of "Alien". I want to know how you plan to make my movie."

Although he knew that Ridley Scott was a well-known director in his previous life, he had super abilities and had made a large number of fine works, such as "Blade Runner", "The End of the Way", "Black Hawk Down", "Dynasty of the Heavens", "Hannibal", "Gladiator", etc.

But he still wanted to verify it so as not to make empirical mistakes.

"Okay." Ridley Scoe nodded. In fact, after studying the script for so many days, he had already had many ideas and ideas.

"Mr. Ye, this is the plot concatenation diagram I drew." He took out a large stack of documents from his briefcase, and the plot concatenation diagram of "Alien".

The plot serration and storyboards have similarities, but the plot serration focuses on introducing the plot, while the storyboard focuses on expressing the picture. The difference between them is just like the difference between Middle-earth comics and Japanese comics.

Ye Jin nodded and looked carefully.

It was seen that Ridley Scott had indeed put in a lot of effort. These dozens of plot-concatenated pictures could not be finished in one or two days.

Moreover, from these plots, we can see that Ridley Scott's understanding of the story and rhythm are still very good.

The plot concatenation diagrams he drew were detailed and relaxed. From this point of view alone, we can know Ridley Scott's talent.

In fact, although the media in Ameriga despised Ridley Scott for only one feature film, his experience was scarce, and he questioned that he did not have the ability to direct "Alien".

But in fact, Ridley Scott had already filmed his first solo short film in 65 years. Since then, he has been engaged in the film industry, working as a set designer, dressmaker, and props teacher. He filmed TV series at BBC, and then entered the advertising industry and filmed more than 2,500 advertisements...

All of these have accumulated a lot of experience for him, so he was able to win the Best debut award at the Cannes Film Festival for the first time when he directed the feature film "The Man of Duel".

This is not an accidental flash of inspiration, but an inevitable result of accumulation and hard work. It took him twelve years to direct his first feature film.

So, Ridley Scott is not actually a rookie. He is an experienced and versatile professional director.
